Dear Members,

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

The Third Raikage would beat anyone on this list hands down in a fight, but i wouldn't call him a Taijutsu specialist. His strengths lie in his Lightning armor, black lightning, and hell stab techniques. Guy is the best at taijutsu though.

But ... Hyuuga depend on the Byakugan yet are still considered Taijutsu specialists. The same thing applies for the Inuzuka and Akimichi clans.

The Third Raikage's strength relies on his inpenetrable raiton armor which is a ninjutsu; however, he is a taijutsu specialist as the only technique he ever was shown to use was the Hell Stab which is an taijutsu technique. The problem is against the higher level shinobi such as Gai, the Raikage's Hell Stab is only linear in attack so it is not too difficult to dodge. Even better is that his technique was easily used against him by Naruto.

Gai holds the title of the best Taijutsu user. He ONLY has used taijutsu outsied of his turtle summon. He has pretty much mastered the 8 gates (seeing how going 8 kills you, 7 is the largest goal to aim for) which is the greatest taijutsu techniques/ enhancements. He is currently fighting against two of the strongest shinobi in the Narutoverse with Taijutsu alone (considering the ninjutsu talent of the other two I'd say it is impressive that he is still kicking)! Aside from that he managed to fight against Pakura on his own manga wise (when he said for Lee to take the Explosive style user). Pakura's tech is extremely dangerous for a taijutsu user considering if the flames connect with you you're toast!

Above all of that Gai defeated Kisame twice (three times if you count him kicking Kisame during the Itachi/Kisame debut)! Kisame is practically a ninjutsu god due to his high scale water techs, and to defeat that with taijutsu alone is a testament to his mastery in the style.
